With the GOAT, back on tour and the grass court, pre-Wimbledon season heating up like a brick oven, tennis betting buffs across the globe need to know which players are offering the best betting value in the handful of tennis tourneys that will be taking place before the start of the world’s most coveted tennis tournament there is.
Right now, the top-ranked players in the world are all throwing down for the title In Halle, Germany which world No. 1 Roger Federer has won a record nine times. With Fed coming off the title this past weekend in Stuttgart, let’s find out where some good betting value lies.
Zverev is the favorite and the better grass court player, but he came up lame in the French Open and Coric should make him work extra hard for the win in this one. I’m going to say that there’s some serious upset value looming in this matchup!
Prediction: Borna Coric Upset in Three Sets

Roger Federer vs. Aljaz Bedene
If you don’t know by now, the legendary Federer just won the Mercedes Cup title at Stuttgart this past weekend by dispatching Milos Raonic in straight sets 6-4, 7-6 (3) in the finals in his first tournament since sitting out the entire clay court season as he did a year ago. The 20-time Grand Slam champion had already secured his return to number one in the world rankings with a victory over Nick Kyrgios in the semi-final. “I played very well throughout the tournament, it is a great comeback for me. I am so happy to have won,” said Federer. “I was hoping to play a couple matches here but I have played four and won them all. The last few have been very good. Now, Fed will take on World No. 72 Aljaz Bedene and he’s 1-0 in his career against the Slovenia native, having taken out his counterpart 6-3, 6-4, 6-3 in the Australian Open earlier this year en route to his record 20th grand slam title. Federer has won Halle a whopping nine times and is a virtual lock to dispatch Bedene in this one. Prediction: Roger Federer in Straight SetsBorna Coric vs. Alexander Zverev
Believe it or not, the world No. 34 Borna Coric is 2-1 in his career against the second-seeded and ATP’s World No. 3 Sascha Zverev. Coric won their first two meetings in 2015 in Cincinnati and 2017 at the US Open in three sets each time, but Zverev got some revenge with a 6-4, 6-4 straight sets win in Miami earlier this year.
Zverev is the favorite and the better grass court player, but he came up lame in the French Open and Coric should make him work extra hard for the win in this one. I’m going to say that there’s some serious upset value looming in this matchup!
Prediction: Borna Coric Upset in Three Sets
